Visiting Prague often means wandering through medieval streets, marveling at historic squares, and soaking up centuries of charm. But for those wanting a playful yet insightful way to experience the city’s highlights, the Madame Tussauds Prague with Digital City Tour offers a winning combo. This package promises a chance to interact with hyper-realistic wax figures and learn about Prague’s most famous sights through an audio guide—all for just $33 per person.
What really makes this experience appealing are three standout features: the lifelike wax figures that bring celebrities and historical figures within arm’s reach, the themed sets perfect for photos, and the flexibility of exploring the city at your own pace with a downloadable audio tour. The only potential downside? It’s a self-guided experience, so if you prefer a live guide, you might find it less personal.
Ideal for travelers who enjoy a mix of pop culture and cultural discovery, this experience suits those looking for an affordable, engaging way to make the most of their Prague trip—whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family.

What to Expect at Madame Tussauds Prague
Stepping into Madame Tussauds Prague is like walking into a celebrity-filled dream. Located centrally, it’s easy to access, and as you arrive, the atmosphere is both lively and welcoming.

It’s a perfect setting for memorable photos, whether you’re posing with international stars, shaking hands with political figures, or standing shoulder to shoulder with sports heroes.

Every set is designed not just for display but for interaction, making it easy to snap fun, creative shots. Regular visitors mention how this makes for a delightful and spontaneous personal photo collection, perfect for sharing on social media.
Visitors have noted the craftsmanship behind the figures is impressive, with some celebrities’ wax figures (like those of Hollywood stars or historical icons) capturing remarkable detail.

Practical Details and Tips
The entire experience is accessed via the WeGoTrip app, which you download after receiving a link by email or SMS. This means no need for physical guides or tickets—just your smartphone, headphones, and a charged battery. Since you need to bring your own headphones and download the app beforehand, it’s best to prepare these essentials ahead of time to avoid last-minute scrambling.
Tickets are priced at $33 per person, covering entry to Madame Tussauds and the city tour. When you compare this to the cost of combining separate tickets or guided tours, it offers excellent value—especially considering the flexibility and the self-paced nature of the tour.
Because the tour is self-guided, you won’t have a live guide answering questions on-site, but the detailed commentary available offline more than compensates for this. Many users found the knowledgeable guides behind the audio tour to be insightful, providing context and stories that bring Prague’s sights to life.
The entire experience is designed to be straightforward: show your smartphone at the entrance, scan your ticket, and start exploring. The tour duration is flexible depending on how much you want to see and listen to, but you can comfortably spend a couple of hours enjoying both the museum and the city’s highlights.
What’s Included and What to Keep in Mind
Included in your ticket are access to all themed rooms, photo sets, and the downloadable audio tour. However, note that the tour guide is not included, and the audio tour inside the museum itself is not provided, only the city tour.
You’ll want to bring your own headphones to fully enjoy the audio guide, and ensuring your device is charged will help you avoid interruptions. The experience ends back at the starting point, which is convenient if you’re combining it with other activities in Prague.
